10 Travel Hacks To Get You a Free Upgrade While You Fly

What comes to one's mind when it's time to fly? Well, of course, it's packing stuff, booking hotels, planning destinations but most importantly, a desire to get upgraded to the comfiest seats available and being the luckiest person on board.

Flying to Finland, New York, or Prague? Apply some useful hacks for a seamless travel experience and manage your expenses better.

Travel hacks can be a savior when you are looking for some extra scoop of ice cream. So, this time try different flavors of scoop hacks.

Fly frequently

Airlines have soft corners for their loyal customers. If you are a globetrotter or just a business person, you can join a frequent flyer program to make your trip more useful. Redeeming points is satisfactory, after all!

Arrive early

Don't be flabbergasted. It's a no-brainer that people like to hop onto window seats. So, why not augment the chance to get yourself a preferred seat.

Suit up decently

Just like Barney Stinson says in HIMYM, "Swag is for boys, class is for men." Maintaining a class can bring you to the notice of the attendees, and it may work like a charm.

And a suite for the honeymoon

Like seen in many movies and series, drop a hint that you are on your honeymoon, and maybe they can upgrade you to first class. Yapps! The reel can happen for real too.

Cashback sites

All you need to do is register before buying or booking online. Don't worry, prices will remain the same, and you can get up to a decent percent off.

Incognito Mode

My all-time favorite! Well, if you don't want travel sites to hike their prices just because you have visited other airlines then, press Ctrl+Shift+N. There you go!

Use AMEX points

If you've never heard of it before, now is the time to look for it. The best upgrade of your life can come with Membership Rewards Points for booking your to-and-fro travel activities. It even transfers points from coach to business class.

Wouldn't it be better if you could customize your sitting preference while reserving your seats? Avoid the discomfort of cramped space and optimize your travel experience by finding the best seats. Recommend this to seat lovers who prefer leg room, window, a power outlet, or reclining seats.

Early booking

Travel economically. Book your flights for the cheapest month of the year if you know your travel plans beforehand and afford a reasonable price.

Be a gentleman

Behave at your best and be gracious. Who knows! Your manners can get you an upgrade.
